I was surprised to see Shane come out of nowhere. He pushed his way through the small group that had formed in the hallway and made it to my side, standing a shoulder width in front of me, as though to defend me. “There you are.” He put his arm around my waist, pulled me close, and kissed me.

Shane’s lips were soft, his mouth open slightly, and I nearly reared back when I felt tongue, but he held me firmly to him. His hands locked on my hips.

And then I thought to myself, why the hell not?

The next thing I knew my arms were sliding around his neck and I was leaning into him, kissing him back for all I was worth and enjoying every second of my first real kiss.

Q&A with J. A. Templeton

﻿Why a spin-off series?The MacKinnon Curse series is the series I’m most proud of, as well as a reader favorite. When the emails continued to come in asking if I was going to continue the series, I thought why not write a spin-off? When I wondered where to start, the character of Maddy just kind of leapt off the page for me. She’s one of those tortured souls that I love to write about, and plus, she’s psychic, so she was a perfect fit for this world.

Your books are considered horror and romance. How do you classify them? First and foremost, I look at my books as romances because the stories are about a girl on a journey, and that journey always includes finding love. I do love writing the scary bits though.

So…you’re also a psychic medium? What does that mean exactly? Yes, I am. A psychic medium is someone who can communicate with those who have passed away. Like the character of Maddy (and Riley from The MacKinnon Curse series), I see, hear, and feel Spirits.

What’s next? I’ll finish books two and three in The MacKinnon Legacy, and then I’m writing the third book in the Badboy Rockers series before I finish up my Otherworld series.
